Social skills 2.0

[Antaeus]

What does everyone think regarding the applicability of SE to developing better social skills?

This is merely my opinion of course, but I think that social failure upon social failure can contribute greatly to zero-to-low self esteem. And from that lack of self esteem is developed a vicious cycle: social failure-->low-self-esteem--->more social failure due to low self esteem due to social failure--->more low self esteem etc.

In that sense, SE sub could be applicable. But I think the development of a focused social skills sub with special emphasis on greater self esteem would be useful.

Also, someone mentioned in their list "reading social cues". I think this is particularly important for those that have trouble with this as this is a very important building block of social development and could serve as an obstacle for some.
